The theory for a sensitive spectroscopy based on the photothermal deflection of a laser beam is developed. We consider cw and pulsed cases of both transverse and collinear photothermal deflection spectroscopy for solids, liquids, gases, and thin films. The predictions of the theory are experimentally verified, its implications for imaging and microscopy are given, and the sources of noise are a...

Performances of four related techniques i.e., photoacoustic spectroscopy, photothermal deflection, thermal lensing, and photothermal phase shift spectroscopy have been compared to the conventional beam transmittance spectrophotometry. This concerns to the analytical potential in studies of environmental pollutants. Solutions of pesticides in water are used as specimens in this study. Spectropho...

Microcantilever sensors offer high sensitivity in the detection of adsorbed molecules based either on resonance frequency shift or changes in cantilever deflection, as both of these signals can be detected with very high resolution. Despite the high sensitivity offered by this platform, cantilevers suffer from poor selectivity due to the lack of sufficiently selective interfacial layers which c...

we demonstrate that photothermal deflection spectroscopy can be used to measure velocity distributions in dye jets. such measurements are useful in determining the quality of flow in dye jets, the quality of jets is very important for a stable and naanow linewidth operation of dye lasers

We present TIR-PTD spectroscopy, an IR-pump/VIS-probe method for the measurement of IR absorption spectra by means of photothermal deflectometry (PTD) enhanced by total internal reflection (TIR). It overcomes the limitations of IR spectroscopy for the study of opaque samples and allows molecular fingerprinting of IR-active liquids or solids. Another important advantage of the presented approach...
